The Liberation Daily News is excited to report on the recent unveiling of the “Renewing Youth: A Retrospective of Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui’s Hong Kong Films” exhibition at Shanghai Cinemas. This retrospective exhibition showcases 8 films starring the legendary duo from the 1980s to the early 2000s, including classics like “Fate” and “Rouge”.
Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui hold a special place in the hearts of Hong Kong pop culture enthusiasts. Their contributions to the industry spanned nearly a hundred screen appearances, making them cultural icons of the golden era of Hong Kong films and a cherished memory for audiences in both Hong Kong and the Mainland. Despite their on-screen chemistry, the two were also close friends off-screen, making their untimely departures in 2003 a loss felt deeply by fans worldwide.
The film festival, which runs until April 1, is a joint effort between the Economic and Trade Office of the Hong Kong SAR Government in Shanghai, the Shanghai Film Museum, the Hong Kong Film Archive, and the Shanghai Film Archive. It aims to celebrate the legacy of Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui while providing a platform for movie fans to revisit the magic of their on-screen performances.
Don’t miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of two cinema legends and relive the magic of their unforgettable performances.
